check out the DIY Goes 2005 compilation from @outcasttapes.bsky.social !!! so many great bands, artists, and songs on there, it’s a great thing to even just have on in the background. I got my CDs last night and seeing art I designed on something real is always a crazy cool feeling :,)

The front cover of the DIY Goes 2005 compilation CD case - it’s got a very y2k aesthetic featuring polaroids, stickers, and fun text.

some days i see my friends out and about with other friends or doing things i wish i could do with them and it’s hard not to feel jealous sometimes? but then i remind myself that it’s normal to feel like that, but not cool to dwell on it and let that feeling just sit in my brain

Howdy. I've been trying to prevent homies end of year lastfm grids from having missing artwork, by using my script to upload it all. What I've done so far is in the reply, and here's a sped up video fixing @valor.start-track.com's top plays. So, drop me your lastfm username, and I'll get yours!

I don't often write about the dysphoria I experience because it doesn't come with a name or and identity, Just a dull disconnect from my physical self. I don't identify as queer or not queer. Honestly I don't know how to identify at all. This song is about that. open.spotify.com/track/7wsJc7...

Hi Bluesky! So as a creator, I rely heavily on Patreon to not only make art, but to survive I put in a *ton* of time to uploading regularly to YouTube AS WELL AS making daily TikTok/insta content. It’s a lot of work that Patreon allows me to do! So if you can support, that would be DOPE!!
